Give a balanced chemical equation for the following conversions with conditions:

(a) Ethene from ethanol

(b) Ethyne from calcium carbide

(c) Monochloromethane from methane

Exam-ready answer 03 Mark

Answer

(a) Ethene from ethanol:

\mathrm{C_2H_5OH \xrightarrow[\text{excess}]{170^\circ\mathrm{C},\ conc.\ H_2SO_4} C_2H_4 + H_2O}

(b) Ethyne from calcium carbide:

CaC₂ + 2H₂O → C₂H₂ + Ca(OH)₂

(c) Monochloromethane from methane:

\mathrm{CH_4 + Cl_2 \xrightarrow{\Delta,\ diffused\ sunlight} CH_3Cl + HCl}
